I've been sitting silently on the sideline reading about all the companies and doing my research and I've decided to go to C1 through PAM. I will be driving team with my husband. He has been driving for over 25 years but most of it has been Regional. Every company I spoke with wanted him to go out with a trainer. Even though we are from Ohio and he has experienced driving in snow, mountains, and city driving the fact that he hasn't covered more than 15 states was a setback for us. Our original plan was for him to get hired then train me. But they all said it would take several months for him to become a trainer. With PAM he is good as long as he has crossed state lines. He won't officially be my trainer, but after I do my 2 weeks with a trainer, I will be with him. I am sooo looking forward to this like you wouldn't believe. The only thing that has me concerned is that a lot of posts on this forum has mentioned not getting paid as much as the recruiter's say you will. My husband will be leaving a job that pays almost 70 g's a year. We are willing to take the cut in his pay with the hopes of the combined pay being closer to the 100 g range in a year or two as a hardworking team that doesn't mind putting in the work. Does this sound reasonable and can anyone tell me which companies would be good for what we want?
On my way to C1 then PAM!!
